About this skill
“Android device and emulator control from inside Orca over adb, with the live device view in Orca's emulator pane. Use when driving an adb-connected emulator or phone on Windows, Linux, or macOS: booting AVDs, taps, swipes, typing, hardware buttons, rotation, app install and launch, runtime permissions, the accessibility tree, and logcat. For an iOS simulator use the iOS emulator skill; build the APK with Gradle first.”
Orca Android Emulator Control is a skill in stablyai/orca (88k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 558 tokens. Licence: Apache-2.0.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cbad641. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Orca Android Emulator Control loads about 558 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Orca Emulator (Android)
This discovery stub loads the version-matched guide from the Orca executable used for this session.
Resolve the CLI for this session
Choose the executable once and reuse it for every later command:
- If the
ORCA_CLI_COMMANDenvironment variable is set, use its value. Orca exports this for managed WSL sessions. - Otherwise, in a dev checkout whose session exposes
ORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT, useorca-dev. - Otherwise, on Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, use
orca-ide. Never run bareorcathere — outside Orca's terminals it normally resolves to the GNOME Orca screen reader (/usr/bin/orca) and starts speech on the user's machine. - Otherwise, use
orca.
Below, ORCA is a placeholder for the executable you resolved. Substitute it before
running anything; do not create a shell variable or run ORCA literally. This works the
same way in POSIX shells, PowerShell, and cmd.exe.
If the selected executable cannot run, report its exact error and stop. Do not fall through to another executable, which could silently target a different Orca build.
Load the version-matched guide before running Orca commands
ORCA skills get orca-emulator-androidPrefer --json. Use the selected executable's --help for commands or flags the guide does
not cover. If a command reports that Orca is not running, start it with ORCA open --json
and retry. If it fails with runtime_access_denied, your sandbox blocked the connection:
re-run it with escalated permissions, and do not run ORCA open or restart Orca. If
skills get is unknown, explain that updating Orca restores the guide; use --help for
read-only discovery and do not guess unsupported commands.
